This seems like the hard way and will be hard to pour specific quantities mentioned in the solution. My solution is to pour from the three gallon bucket two times until the 5 gallon bucket is full, keeping one gallon in the 3 gallon bucket. Then empty the 5 gallon bucket and pour the one leftover gallon into the empty 5 gallon bucket. Last, fill the 3 gallon bucket and pour all into the 5 gallon bucket to make 4 gallons.
